The Drama Desk was founded in 1949 to explore key issues in the theater and to bring together critics and writers in an organization to support the ongoing development of theater in New York. The organization began presenting its awards in 1955, and it is the only critics' organization to honor achievement in the theater with competition among Broadway, off-Broadway, and off-off-Broadway productions in the same categories.

Gretchen Shugart is managing executive producer of the Drama Desk Awards. Joey Parnes Productions will produce and manage the show. The president of the Drama Desk is Charles Wright.
